Abstract
Guidance is presented on how to plan a death notification seminar for medical professionals and on how to reach and train adult audiences. Tips on the use of flip charts and transparencies are offered. A curriculum is included that contains materials on crisis responder stress, post-traumatic stress disorder, and secondary traumatization and that may be particularly useful for law enforcement professionals. An annotated literature review and sample overheads and handouts for use in conducting a seminar are provided. References
